The amount of young fish annually produced varies 

 with seasonal conditions, and a corresponding variation 

 in the fishing from season to season may be expected. 



The annual stocking of bass-inhabited waters with the 

 comparatively small number of fry or fingerlings which it 

 is possible to produce by pond cultural operations amounts 

 to little. The Board of Fisheries and Game cannot con- 

 sistently ask the legislature to appropriate the large sum 

 involved in the establishment of a pond culture station. 



As a substitute for an expensive pond culture station 

 the Board of Fisheries and Game has arranged with offi- 

 cials in charge of muncipal water works for the privilege 

 of removing bass and other warm water fishes with a view 

 to transferring them to public lakes and ponds.
